Hey Kevin,
while the MakeDL app you have seems to offered for free, (right?), I have a contact who would probably pay for it, if it is robust enough for a production environment (but not willing to pay enough for the one Stu mentioned-sorry Stu!) Do you provide support for this? I have not tested it, or have any experience with it. Hope this doesnt offend anyone! Thanks Pat "Snook, Kevin S (ITD)" To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> si.gov.uk> cc: Subject: RE: Auto creation of Distribution Lists 10/19/2001 11:49 AM Please respond to "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" The difficulty comes with tying in the script to the creation of the mailbox. Ignoring the possibility of creating an add-on in Exchange Admin, either you have to redesign the mailbox creation process and use a script/program to do it or you have to come up with a backend process that assigns membership of a DL after the creation of the mailbox. I have tried both and the latter gives the best results (and gives you other benefits as well) Hey Rick - did you get my message?

Almost any administrative task can be performed with a script. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 7:25 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Auto creation of Distribution Lists I was wondering if there was a way to trigger the addition of a mail user to a DL by a field such as Office or State without going to the Distribution Lists tab in the users mailbox properties. -----Original Message----- From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 9:09 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Auto creation of Distribution Lists If I understand you correctly (and I'm not sure I do), you create a new mailbox for said user, you enter all pertinent information regarding office and such. There is a DL tab in the mailbox properties of said user, click on that and choose the DL you want to add them to. +++The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity +++to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
